The Panacea

Standing before your banks,
Overwhelmed I am
Looking fixedly into Oblivion
My life on pause.
To go forward with it, I am not
Sure of anymore.

This river looks so inviting
I could hear it calling out
Telling me to dive in and
End this miserable life
The currents, looking all
Soothing and comforting

Tonight I sing tunefully
Singing a dirge with glee
My last requiem
Into the deep blue
Of the ocean
At least a place so still
Where life's hassles
Reach out not.

I shall struggle not
No help; no Baywatch!
Just leave me to my
Business
Is it yours?

Be it in the belly of a whale
Or serrated shackles
Of the shark
I dream to be there
For life here isn't living
And breathing here
Isn't life.
